Two chunyu drums bearing a similar tiger figure on top, but with unornamented body are illustrated in J. So, Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronzes from the Arthur M. Sackler Collections; New York & Washington, D.C., 1995, pp. 398-405. Another example is a Western Han tiger-mounted chunyu in the Shaanxi History Museum Collection, China, illustrated by Li Xixing in The Shaanxi Bronzes, Xi'an, 1994, p. 284.
A similar but larger late Warring States period chunyu drum sold at Christie's New York, 19-20 September 2013, lot 1457. Another example of a tiger-mounted chunyu with central whorl design is illustrated by E. von Erdberg in Chinese Bronzes from the Collection of Chester Dale and Dolly Carter, Switzerland, 1978, pp. 158-161, no. 90.
J. So explains that historical texts often describe the chunyu as a drum used for military purposes to signal to troops during battle. (Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronzes from the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, New York, 1995, p. 399.)
